Migrate from Expo EAS
to Ubriot

How the pricing models differ

EAS Update is billed per monthly active user above each plan's allowance

Expo's pricing page lists included update MAUs per plan, then tiered per-MAU rates, with bandwidth over quota billed per GiB. Ubriot includes OTA in a flat plan with no per-MAU or bandwidth charge.

EAS Build is billed per build after the included credit

Expo's paid plans include build credit, then charge a flat rate per Android or iOS build. Ubriot builds are not metered per build or per minute.

Push and release diagnosis sit in the same plan on Ubriot

Ubriot Notify push is included on every plan, and Pro and Business plans diagnose failed builds against your app's own build history.

Migrate in four steps

1

Install the Ubriot CLI and log in

One npm install, then authenticate. Your Expo config and app code stay as they are.

npm install -g ubriot
ubriot login
2

Preview the migration

The command detects EAS usage (eas.json, an EAS update URL, eas-cli) and prints exactly what it will change. Dry-run is the default.

ubriot migrate eas
3

Apply it

Ubriot repoints expo.updates.url and the channel header from EAS to Ubriot, and backs up app.json. Your Expo app is unchanged otherwise.

ubriot migrate eas --apply --channel production
4

Build and update on Ubriot

Swap eas build / eas update for ubriot ship / ubriot update. Same Expo app, new release surface.

ubriot ship ios --app <your-app>
ubriot update --app <your-app> --channel production

What this does and does not change

This runs your Expo app on Ubriot, it does not remove Expo. Ubriot OTA uses the expo-updates protocol, so migrating is a config repoint, not a rewrite. You switch the build and update commands from eas toubriot, and keep everything else.

When to stay on EAS

EAS is Expo's first-party service and has a free plan. EAS Update also offers bundle diffing from Expo SDK 55, which Ubriot does not. If you want Expo's own hosted services, need a free plan, or OTA download size matters most, EAS may suit you better.
